Description

Lubbins is doing lots better now, but I think he still needs some more help. A little bit ago I met a super smart Dragonscale Expedition explorer named Haniko who works with proto-drakes all the time. She's a pet trainer, too. I bet she could help Lubbins more! I think she was going to the Waking Shores. I bet if you go there you'll find her. I'm so happy I was able to help you! <she waves happily> Goodbye! Good luck, Lubbins.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Practice BoutLevel 1-90

    All right! Now that you used that stone on Lubbins, let's have a practice bout to test out his skills! There's a big ole Hornswog named Gwosh that lives on the shore to the north of here. Gwosh loves to fight! Well, play really. He's super good with other pets, too! It'll be a perfect playtime...
